governor romney scapegoating educational public broadcasting for a talking point? look, for me, the report, what was stunning was that the reading gaps are closed in part when kids self select and read things that they themselves like. and i'm just thinking for me, ce sesame street was all about in you stories and different kind of folks and part of what developed me as a kid to find stories that i loved and liked. is this an actual attack on this very thing we are looking at here? >> there's been tons of attacks. romney also wants to give the defense department $2 billion more than they've asked for and yet wants to cut not just big bird but is he taking on national education cuts, no. we are cutting education. we are cutting it. we're cutting it at a time when we know the class size, for example, so to get those individualized plans for kids e requires teachers to have fewer students in their classrooms. >> i'm not surprised he does this, though, because oftentimes republicans support innovative styles ofes of learning and bringing learning to the tv, to internet

romney has been out there talking about one set of things. now he's saying a whole new set of things. so it's sort of a question like, which is it? >> does it in any way show weakness on the obama campaign's part to change tactics now, or is that just part of october? >> i think that's part of october. and it's also, i mean, given that governor romney is shifting tactics, a campaign has to be nimble. both sides have to be nimble enough to, if your opponent shifts tactics, you've got to be able to shift tactics. that being said, i don't think you're going to not see the ongoing conversation about how extreme many of the positions that governor romney was perfectly comfortable to take in the primary and for a lot of the general election has been taking. i think y'all hear both. >> chris, governor romney appears to be moving towards the center. there were comments from the republican primary campaign and also from wednesday's debate. let's listen to one example. >> i fought against long odds in a deep blue state, but i was a severely conservativ
